The thing I got from that video is how much it sucks that we got Sam Posey at Indy every year instead of Hobbs.

Pretty much.

Fun facts! He owns a car dealership here in Milwaukee.

A HONDA dealership.

And his best Indy finish was 5th, with Johnny Rutherford winning in a McLaren :psyduck:

GTP/Group C might have been the peak of "cars that are way too fast for how safe they are." At least in post-seatbelt times, anyway.

Edit: Group B rally is probably in the running for that title, too.

yeah i think over 260 in the straights is when you have to start adding auto ejector pods

It was the best way a massive crash like that could end. Bumps and bruises, maybe a cut here and there, but nothing major.

I can't wait to buy Takuma Sato's Indy Kamikaze Racing for my Panasonic FZ-10 R·E·A·L 3DO Interactive Multiplayer. I wonder if it runs on the game engine from Road & Track Presents: The Need For Speed. The FMVs should be good in any case.

Panasonic was just one of the licensed manufacturers of the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, but they were also the only one that mattered so even though calling the system "Panasonic 3DO" is technically inaccurate, nobody cares. Well, it is the 3DO so nobody cares regardless, but you know what I mean.

excuse me sir but i happen to actually own a 3do and mine is the goldstar model :colbert:

Yeah seriously. I mean he can be quick from time to time but it's very much in spurts. He lacks consistency and his race craft wasn't exactly great so may as well see if hes developed at all in Formula E.

All joking aside, I think Gutierrez will probably be a solid midfielder. He won't be anything special, but he won't be anything bad.

Gutierrez has a good amount of F3/F2 wins, i dunno. I admittedly have watched all the F1 races on fastforward for the last 5ish years only slowing down for the start and big events (literally the only way to watch that poo poo lately), so I dont exactly have vivid memories of him. On paper it looks like he was basically the same as Sutil in 2015, and pretty similar to Grosjean if both finished last year?

I mean if the money is equal, I'm pretty sure I would take him over Davison too...

He was among the worst of the drivers in 2014 and the absolute worst in 2016. He was driving a decent car last year.
